Authorities looking for Rosenberg robbers

Officers in Rosenberg are looking for suspects linked to two crimes within an hour of each other, reports say.

According to KPRC-Channel 2, a robber blocked a driver with his car in the 2900 block of Airport about 1:20 p.m. on Saturday. Armed with a gun, the suspect reportedly got out of the vehicle, approached the other man and demanded cash. KPRC says the robber fled with an undisclosed amount of money. KTRK Channel 13 described the robber’s car as a red or maroon sedan.

Later on, the culprit and another man apparently attempted a home invasion nearby, in the 1500 block of Jones, KPRC says.

Catarino Hernandez told the station that his wife called him at work and told him someone was trying to kick in the front door:

“They came asking for someone who doesn’t live here. … I was at work at the time and my wife called me saying someone was kicking the front door trying to get in. I was worried because she was home alone with my kids.”

When they couldn’t gain entry, the robbers reportedly fled. But Hernandez said his wife was able to use her phone to record the robbers fleeing in a red or maroon sedan with a black, front driver’s side fender. There are no detailed descriptions of the suspects at this time.

Tipsters are urged to call Rosenberg police Investigator John White at 832-595-3720 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS for information on the suspects.
